The 10 most recognized classical ballets are Cinderella, Coppelia, Don quixote, Giselle, La Bayadere, La Sylphide, The Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet, Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake.

Cinderella is usually known as a kids story and even though there are countless versions of this story in ballet is the one we all know, but still its a good experience to watch it as a ballet presentation because it gives different ways of understanding the play. Here I leave you a video of it:




Coppelia its about a mysterious inventor who has a dancing doll in real size, then Franz falls in love with her leaving his true love, Swanhilda, which in the second act tries to make him realize the other girl is a doll. This ballet is also know as stronger and deeper one.
